People Who Find Fault.
Harper's Bazaar.


1t is one of the easiest things in the world to
find fault, especially as nothing seems quite per-
feet. There is the late spring, the weather, the
bills, the appetite, the cook, the mosquito, the
microbe and the evolutionist. Besides this, every
BODY is full of faults, and if we do not see them,
it must be because we not looking out for them.
There are ones neighbors: nobody knows what
benefaction neighbors are till one can find fault
with them. 1t is only necessary to live with or
near people to discover how vain and selfish, how
extravagant and niggardy, how indolent, how
fussy, and unlovey they are. In most cases we
will discover that it is our friends who find the
most fault with us, either because they love us
most, or because we are so near them that they
more readily perceive failings than our graces.
But it is mistake to find fault too often one gets
the reputation of shrew, and the constant nag
ging is irritating to the temper, and helps one.
To be to another's faults a little blind seems to
some the poorest method. We don't need to be
told of our failings; nobody is as well aware of
them as we are ourselves. We know when we are
Jealous, when we are ill-tempered, when we are
"touchy," when we are awkward and ignorant
and yet many seem to believe it their duty to
quaint US with all our shortcomings in an exag-
gerated manner. Ifthey overlook any other duty,
they are diligent to attend to this. With some
people it develops into a fine art. In certain
moods it is more agreeable to find fault than to
praise; it shows more power of mind, more Guilt
walton, more talent for the study of humanity /;
but those who are the most ready to pursue this
art are the most displeased if another connosseur
brings them in turn under his microscope. We are
pleased to call it analysis Of character when we
pick our neighbor to pieces, and wish he was as
agreeable as ourselves and if he should become
faultless, our occupation would be gone. We
fancy ourselves bent upon reform, but would it
not sometimes give us pang if we could see moth
ing to cavil at?
"0h, don't the days seem lank and long
When all goes right and nothing goes wrong?
And isn't your life extremely fat
The world would, indeed, be hollow mockery
to many of us if there were not worm in the bud,
q wrinkle in the rose leaf.

How Millionaire Gets his Horses.

Harper's Weekly.
Russell Sage is said to be able to command $685.
100000 in cash in half an hour during business
hours. Notwithstanding his wealth, Mr.. Sage
lives very plainly in his modestly appointed home
on Fifth Avenue, New York city. lie and his
wife are of one mind and taste in this respect and
there are no children to gainsay them. Mrs. Sage
is distinguished for her interest in benevoence to-
ward hospital work. Mr.. Sage takes his keenest
pleasure in riding and the ownership of horses,
but he never buys horse outright. He follows
the custom of country horsemen and of his own
rustic YOUTH and "swaps" trades for every horse
he gets. The ear-marks of his country origin hang
to him as to very few in this city, though the
town is full of men with the same general history,
for few of the leaders in any walk of life in New
York were not country boys or country men before
they came here. But Mr.. Sage looks like coun-
try man still-and like peculiarly old-fashioned
one-with his stiff, angular figure, his deep-fur-
rowed face, and his old-time beard, growing under
his chin and jowl. Hy tt
